OK....so is Raegan Gomez really old enough to be posted up boy-short clad on the cover of KING magazine?? If so, Im both disappointed AND old....I can remember not that long ago (or so it would seem) that cute little kid running around the set of the The Parent'hood...And ps, Im sure Robert Townsend is somewhere shaking his head..Suddenly Im browsing the web looking for something to rant about for a new post and I see her front and center on the cover in an almost chi-chi bearing men's dress shirt and some damn panties?? Really?? Ok call me an old head but seriously...whats w/ these random former child tv stars turned video chick/sex kitten?? Im so confused. I mean first Rudy Huxtable and now this?? I remember I almost passed out seeing her in a damn La Perla lingerie set back when she was in Chingy's video...There must be a conspiracy...Whats the deal, are there just no roles for talented YOUNG sistahs anymore or something? Apparently theyre being told, " Girl you need to be in this new T.I. video...its about to blow up..and it'll do WONDERS for your career..But first here...put on this hoochie get-up..because we wouldnt want anyone to get distracted by your talent while trying to get a gander at that booty" wtf......ok maybe im just sleepy and a little wound up but something just seems wrong with that whole situation...
I dont know if some sort of sistah coalition needs to be called to diminish this ever growing population of young divas turned hooch or what..but someone needs to do something. Get Spike and John Singleton on this...Call Oprah..cause Lord knows if anyone can make something happen she can. I mean I understand that sex sells...and that there wouldnt be a market for magazines like KING unless people wanted to buy it, but theres something to be said for women who are making a decision to post up half nude because they want to..and those who do it because they dont feel they have much choice. A woman's beauty shouldnt have to be put on display in a way that competely obscures who she is...turning her into nothing more than a Fembot-like creature with too much makeup and too little clothes....Im sure women like Raegen will swear they did it 'for themselves' but in about 20 yrs Im sure they'll feel the same as Vanessa Williams did about those 'questionable' pics she took when she was young and misguided...Sometimes the past doesnt always remain in the past...Perhaps thats something these young women should consider while they are taking it all off in the name of fame...Thats my 4 cents....Im going to bed...
Here's to not doing the most for once..
